Add a Resource Type for Bucket in Oracle Fusion Field Service

A bucket accumulates the work that hasn't yet been distributed to mobile workers. A bucket doesn't require a user, can't process work or activities, is shown with a Double Tech icon, includes the group option, and can have activities assigned.

Note: Some features are available only during the initial configuration. This varies based on the options selected during the configuration. Features that aren't available for editing after the initial configuration will be greyed out.

1. In Fusion Setup and Maintenance, go to Navigator > My Enterprise > Offering Setup. Select the Field Service offering. In the Scheduling and Dispatch functional area, select the Resource Types task. The Resource Types page displays all the resource types you’ve created so far.
2. Click the plus icon.
